water posts

Fisher Park

Fisher Park is a nice little modern splash pad in Ottawa. There are two dragons, a couple of water sprinklers, some water cannons, as well as some arches and mushrooms.

There is parking at Fisher Park alternative school as well as nearby street parking. Beside the splash pad, there is a gazebo and a park.

Henri-Rocque Park Splash Pad

Henri-Rocque Park Splash Pad UPDATED: July 9, 2019

A nice, new modern splash pad in Orleans (Avalon Encore). This splash pad is pretty gentle in terms of water pressure and can be a great way to cool down in summer.

  • 2 tall posts that look like blades of green grass and they spray water.
  • A black spider (named Charlotte) that hangs from the top of one of blades of grass. She sprays water from both sides
  • 2 smaller posts – one looks like a ball, and the other one has a circular top. Both of them spray water from the sides. (Apparently they spin as well, but we didn’t discover that yet!)
  • 4 ground sprinklers, each one has a different flower design.

Henri-Rocque Park Splash Pad also has some pretty fun things around it

  • There’s a gazebo with 3 picnic tables, but only one of them is under the gazebo itself.
  • There are two play structures nearby, swings, a basketball court, as well as an exercise area.
  • Right beside the gazebo is a sand pit so your little ones can use buckets and shovels.

    Big Bird Park Splash Pad

    Big Bird Park Splash Pad is a modern splash pad located in Chatelaine Village (Orleans), Ottawa. It’s located on a little bit of green space that connects Marsha Park and Big Bird Park. Lots of street parking on Mockingbird Drive.

    (Psst, Big Bird Park even has a playground facebook page.)

    We checked out the splashpad on Tuesday July 9, 2019 and the splash pad was under repairs. (The city had put giant orange pylons over the ground sprinklers.)

    You can tell it’s a nice splash pad, even though the water was off.

    There was a red post with a spinner at the top, a tall umbrella post to hide under, two circle hoops to run through, and 6 ground sprinklers. They also had a yellow post with a circle at the top that you could rotate. (It’s too stiff for a little one to turn, but grown ups and big kids could probably get it to rotate.)

    We couldn’t get a sense of how strong the water pressure was – different splash pads seem to range from gentle fountains to higher power water jets.

    We’ll have to come back when it’s working again!

    LAWSON PARK Splash Pad (Renovated)

    The splash pad at Lawson Park is insane. There’s so much stuff here, we didn’t know where to start.

    This used to be a bizarre giant wooden post that didn’t work, but the city renovated it into a very nice modern splashpad with lots of flower and leaf water structures. (Check out this google map satellite image of the renovation)

    They have a great garden theme: giant spinning flowers, leaves that spray you, twisty water guns, and yellow rings to run through. There’s also a little area that’s kind of separate that doesn’t have powerful stuff – the 3 gentle water gushers here would be perfect for little splashers.

    WHITEROCK PARK Splash Pad

    Whiterock Park Splash Pad is a simple splash pad with a blue post that sprays water out one side.

    The splash pad is located on the border of the Aviation Parkway so there are plenty of trees.  There are a few older playstructures beside the pad.

    PLOUFFE PARK Splash Pad

    Plouffe Park Splash Pad is a fun urban splashpad located in a park area behind Plant Recreation Centre.  The splash pad is fairly large and features several fun structures like a rainbow arch.

    The splash pad has some shade and is located near a gazebo structure.  There are also two playstructures in the park.  There are public washrooms available in the recreation centre.
